Good Afternoon All
Hope you're all well.
As above I'm out East this time.
Been spending a lot of time in deep water, 1500m plus, with nothing. Closer to shore now and finally getting a few.
Reed Warbler, Grey Wagtail & Corncrake!
These are all on my mobile, my nice camera needs to be warmed up before going outside due to boat having excellent air conditioning 🤣

Welcome back @Offman, looking forward to another interesting thread this autumn! Your wagtail looks to be a yellow type (mantle colour and short tail), and that Corncrake is a pretty incredible start to your season! Looking forward to this... 👍

Sadly, I'm away home this week, be back in October. I'm still amazed by the Corncrake, last time was off Romania in 2017

Good Morning
So I'm back after a 4 week break, just picked up a Red-backed Shrike hanging around the back deck

Bluethroat, a nice surprise.

So that's us at anchor back in Larnaca, Cyprus, for a wee while, despite being only a kilometre off shore, this Common Redstart posed nicely
